Stamp focus: Beautiful Lady

Hello and thank you for visiting us today. It's Marika here and I'm featuring Beautiful Lady set today. At first, I'd like to say that I was so thrilled when I learned that I have a focus post on this particular set – this is perfect for colouring! On my set of three cards, I tried to achieve different feel in each card by altering colouring mediums and style. On my first card I wanted to achieve a look that you could find in those old floral books. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and Distress inks for colouring.

For my second card, I wanted to go for very clean and simple, sharp and detailed look – one might say: a modern look. I used no-line colouring with copic markers and coloured pencils to colour my image.

On my third card, I wanted to gain a fresh and chic – a party like look. Although it ended up being a thank you- card, I'm quite happy with the result. To colour this card, I stamped the image with Distress Markers and then blended the ink from the image with my water brush. For the stem and leaves, I used Zig Clean Color Marker to stamp them and coloured it with same technique. Since that ink had already dried, it was quite hard to get it blend again so I had to add more colour from the marker. While doing so, the stem and the leaves got more details than the flower part, so after I ended up adding  more details to the flowers too. I used a stencil and watercolored though it to make my background. And of course, splatters finishes up every card.
